The State of Oslostaad is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 18.185 billion Oslostaadians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Oslostaadian economy, worth 75.6 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 4,159 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have been outlawed, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, thieves are flogged in public for their crimes, and Oslostaad has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oslostaad's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oslostaad is ranked 68,457^th in the world and 3^rd in Minnesota for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
